    Philosophy Sexual Orientation Doesn't Exist

    Sexual orientation does not exist. It's a social construct. Allow me to explain. But first, what is a "sexual orientation"? Well, it has to do something with the stable object of one's sexual desires. Someone who is only ever sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex is said to have a...

    Steelman Argument: "Words Are Violence"

    Just to be clear, a steelman argument is when you fix the problems with your opponent's arguments and be as generous as possible by examining the strongest possible version of his position. I don't actually believe this, so bear with me. I want to hear your thoughts on this. I came across this...

    One of my favorite YouTubers, Vincent James of the Red Elephants, Was Permanently Banned from YouTube

    You can follow him on Bitchute for daily videos, on DLive for daily live streams, and on Telegram and Parler for his posts. You can also donate to him on Subscribestar and Patreon. Donald Trump still isn't doing anything about his supporters being censored. Sad.

    The Mistakes In My Writing

    I've been a bit self-reflective lately about the kind of writing that I do, and I think I should go over the work I've done. While I can be sardonic in an argument (as someone like @LordsFire would know by now), I do want to talk here about the mistakes in my works. The number one mistake I...

    What Should The Right Wing Be?

    On two separate threads, I laid out some criticisms of mainstream conservatism. To summarize, I believe that the modern Right has three problems: 1. It cannot adequately deal with the problem of social disintegration. 2. It cannot fully grasp the reality of the Left's utter dominance and why...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    Read it here. It's like the words were taken from my mind and written eloquently.

    Curtis Yarvin's Critique of Centrism

    This essay was inspired by Curtis Yarvin's latest essay: "Persuasion and the Mensheviks." Read it if you like. It's a pretty good article that provides his critique of Centrism, which pretty much sums up my entire problem with them as a group. In this essay, I will be summarizing Yarvin's...

    Philosophy Dispelling Falsehoods about Thomism

    This is a response to @Scottty, a particularly odd person. Scottty has commented on my philosophical beliefs, making sweeping statements about me that are, quite frankly, risible. Let's go over them, shall we? First, there are his statements from the very beginning, on my old anti-porn thread...

    Philosophy Why Individualism is False

    In this essay, I will argue that the philosophy of individualism, which prioritizes the moral importance of the individual before all else, is false. Individualism is the basis for much of modern political thought, and is upheld by liberalism, both in its libertarian and egalitarian forms...

    Philosophy The Worst Philosophical Argument in the World!

    I recently came across an article by James Franklin called Stove’s Discovery of the Worst Argument in the World. I think it bears a look at it because of 1) how bad it is, 2) how often it's used, both throughout the history of philosophy and in modern classrooms, and 3) how ridiculous the...

    In Another World: Isekai Story Creative Discussion and Idea Thread

    I started one on Sufficient Velocity, so might as well start one here. For those of you who don't know, isekai (lit. "another world") is a genre of speculative fiction that has a completely normal guy (usually a shut-in otaku/gamer) that gets transported to a world that looks like every JRPG...

    Culture John Lennon's "Imagine" versus Thrice's Lullaby

    The spat of critiques of John Lennon's "Imagine" surfacing in light of the ultra-cringy video released by a bunch of celebrities is something that I'd like to contribute to with my own take. I'd like to take the song "Imagine" and compare it to another song "Lullaby." "Lullaby" was written by...

    United States Why Do Libertarians Always Lose?

    I've spoken in great lengths on this website about the theoretical problems with Libertarianism, how I think it wouldn't make for a cohesive society, that its understanding of human nature and the State is wrong, etc. But this thread is NOT about that. This thread is about the failure of...

    Philosophy What is a Right? What is Freedom?

    Here's a discussion here for those of us who disagree on the definitions of those things and how they can be justified. In modern pluralistic societies, people have so many definitions of these things, it's difficult to count. So I want to put this out there. Let all ye willing to discuss this come.

    Time to Shut Down Pornhub

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/time-to-shut-pornhub-down Seriously, all of the people responsible better repent to the Lord God or they will be roasted alive in Hell. This just confirms all of my suspicions about pornography websites. Just check out this article's description of...

    Dist-o-graphy: A Celebration of the Distributist

    This is a thread dedicated to my friend, the Distributist. He's a YouTuber who covers politics, culture, and religion from a right-wing, Catholic perspective. He is the founder of the Canis Society, "a peer-based organization designed to build community among Christians and Christian-allied...

    Economics Criticizing Capitalism by Edward Feser

    The first thing that needs to be done in addressing these issues is to disambiguate the term "capitalism" so that we know exactly what we are talking about. It's one of those hot button terms that is used too loosely and polemically by both critics and defenders, and I don't think it is helpful...

    Progressive Civil War: George Soros Demands Mark Zuckerberg's Job!

    Apparently, George Soros just wrote a piece in the New York Times calling for Mark Zuckerberg to be removed from his job! Unreal! It really makes you wonder if the Left is warring with Silicon Valley at this point. This story, combined with earlier mumbling from the ADL (seen here and here)...

    "A Product of an Overwhelmingly White, Straight European and Male Cadre"

    You've seen this story again and again. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/yale-plans-to-end-art-history-course-deemed-too-straight-white-male/ This follows the trend of Humanities Courses being cancelled at another college for similar reasons. At this rate, I think the far right is...

    Pedophile Identifies As Eight-Year-Old Girl

    It must be seen to be believed. This is, I believe, the end result of the Identificationist extreme that I talked about in a previous post. Identificationism, the idea that a person is what he "identifies" as, is a result of the failure of liberal philosophers to reconcile reality with their...
